Good to see The Bear making it to the top of a lot of end of year lists. Just to bump it as a recommendation here for those who haven’t seen it, as I think it really does live up to the hype.
Watched start of Happy Valley S3 last night. Seems like quality is definitely maintained from the previous seasons, first episode was a brilliant intense watch with great characters, superb performances and some cracking dialog.
If anyone fancies a classic, the original Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy series (with Alec Guiness as Smiley) is up on iPlayer for a month:https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006ylbp/tinker-tailor-soldier-spy
The Detectorists Christmas special was fab.
mostly for the Julio Iglesias track on the final scene.
I must have all series about 5 times now. Apparently in an episode of wurzal gumidge, Macaulays version, in distant field you can see a yellow TVR with 2 blokes with metal detectors.This could be an urban myth.
